"So delicately calibrated and precisely beautiful that one might not
immediately sense the sledgehammer of pain building inside this book. And I
mean that in the best way. What powerful tension and depth this
provides!"--Aimee Bender Fourteen-year-old Linda lives with her parents in
the beautiful, austere woods of northern Minnesota, where their nearly
abandoned commune stands as a last vestige of a lost counter-culture world.
Isolated at home and an outlander at school, Linda is drawn to the
enigmatic, attractive Lily and new history teacher Mr. Grierson. When Mr.
Grierson is charged with possessing child pornography, the implications of
his arrest deeply affect Linda as she wrestles with her own fledgling
desires and craving to belong. And then the young Gardner family moves in
across the lake and Linda finds herself welcomed into their home as a
babysitter for their little boy, Paul. It seems that her life finally has
purpose but with this new sense of belonging she is also drawn into secrets
she doesn't understand. Over the course of a few days, Linda makes a set of
choices that reverberate throughout her life. As she struggles to find a
way out of the sequestered world into which she was born, Linda confronts
the life-and-death consequences of the things people do--and fail to do--for
the people they love. Winner of the McGinnis-Ritchie award for its first
chapter, Emily Fridlund's propulsive and gorgeously written History of
Wolves introduces a new writer of enormous range and talent.
